Before heading to Geneva for Watches & Wonders 2024, we were already very excited about the latest addition to the HYT lineup. The new HYT T1 Series is beyond what we expected. Redesigned, better, and more wearable are just some of the words that come to mind after perusing the new watches. As HYT celebrates its 12th anniversary this year 2024, the new HYT T1 is a smaller hydromechanical watch with a case diameter of 45.3 mm, a slightly more slender profile, and a new ergonomic design for optimum comfort.

Experience: A Summer Soirée with HYT Watches. The Hydromechanical Horologists Come to Dallas.
Even though the summer has not officially arrived, the warm spring weather in Dallas makes you feel the heat just as if the summer had already begun. Therefore, a summer soirée at the end of spring is not necessarily the wrong name for a great evening with friends, watches, good food, Aperol Spritz and Negronis. This time, HYT the hydromechanical horologists, partnered with us to bring their collection down to Dallas. In our opinion one of the most avant-garde watch companies and the only independent watchmaker that has gone where others have not, HYT was launched in 2012 by Lucien Vouillamoz, Patrick Berdoz, Emmanuel Savioz and Vincent Perriard. Their product offering, the most unique horological complication ever developed and the idea of introducing fluids into the heart of a mechanical watch seemed like the craziest thing to do.
News: HYT Presents Two New Versions of the H0. A Khaki and a Slate Grey that are Pure Fire.
With its latest H0 timepiece, HYT showcases the bare essentials of time’s transience in a watch that is as grounded as it is elevated. Fluidity is the language of the design’s appearance and message. This is translated clearly through sleek lines and shaping, subtly punctuated by splashes of color and underlying utilitarian confidence. The new H0 model’s take on transience and transparency has two variations. In one of these, a khaki dial and rubber strap stylishly camouflage the DLC anthracite coating of the stainless steel case. Red and pale green complete the color palette, with the former taking on the essential task of visualizing recently elapsed hours.
Eye Candy: HYT H0 Diamonds Red and Black. The Watch with 1,206 Diamonds Totaling 7.43 Carats on its Dial.
An unprecedented watch by HYT but one that happens to work very well with its dial full of diamonds. As they say, diamonds are allegedly forever, but how long is forever? And as Marylin Monroe would say: “ Diamonds are a girl’s best friend,” but in this case and due to the nature of the HYT watches they are also a man’s best friend as these pair of HYT H0 Diamonds are entirely unisex. On the new H0 Diamonds, a total of 1,206 diamonds totaling 7.43 carats flow through the design of the dial and every corner of it to interplay with light and sparkle through every millimeter of the watch.
Insider: HYT H1.0 Black Fluid. One of the Best Looking HYT Watches Out There.
A couple of weeks ago we brought you our hands-on review of the new HYT H1.0 collection, and we told you how much we fell in love with it. During Watches & Wonders Miami 2019, the HYT H.10 lineup got even better after the brand added a fourth model with black fluid giving the watch a fascinating color combination. Like we mentioned it before, the new HYT H1.0 is the natural evolution and progression of the minimalist design of the H0 Origin released two years ago at Baselworld 2017. The new HYT H1.0 Black Fluid rises above with an even more futuristic approach as the capillary tube is filled with black fluid and the glass capillary features superluminova C7 in vintage mint green color underneath.
